submatch() only works inside a substitute() call or inside a :substitute command (:help sub-replace-expression). It says this explicitly in :help submatch(). In the future, please read the help topics on the functions you are using before posting to the list.
In order to use the matched text, you can try matchstr() or matchlist() instead. Again, had you read the help for match(), you would have been directed to these functions.
